Telepathic Angel: That certainly would make more Jott… There isn't too much in this chapter, but I plan on putting some more in the next chapter.
Amazing redd phoenix: Thanks, hope you'll have close to the same opinion about this chapter!
Chapter 2
Scott walked up to Jean's room and knocked on the door. He was in an even worse mood today than he was yesterday and it showed when he scowled at her as she came out and said, "Well, come on, we don't have all day. Let's just get it over with!"
She just nodded, knowing he didn't really mean to be so, well, mean. They walked to the professor's office after she confirmed that was where he was. She wanted deeply to take his hand in hers but she didn't want to upset him further. She knocked on the office's door and lead Scott in.
"Hello, I've been expecting you two. Now then, these nightmares. I'm going to have to go into your mind to see them Scott, is that okay?" Xavier wasted no time with small talk today. This was too serious of a matter. As Scott nodded tiredly Xavier put his hands on Scott's temple and entered his mind.
When Xavier pulled back to reality he had a weak smile on his face. "Scott what you were dreaming of was your father."
Scott frowned, "I can barely even remember what he looked like, never mind memories of him, how could I dream about him?"
Xavier replayed what he saw for Scott in his head. "You may not remember anything about him usually but in the back of your mind you do. Subconsciously you pulled the memories out while you were sleeping."
"I can't believe I forgot," Scott whispered and he turned and walked out of the room. Jean was about to go after him when Xavier stopped her saying he needed some time alone.

Ororo saw Scott walking through her garden with slumped shoulders. She went to him to see what was troubling him. "Leave me alone, witch," he replied to her coldly and kept on his way. Now totally confused she followed him, far enough away that he didn't notice her.
He went into the garage and she peeked around the corner. He got on Logan's older motorcycle (which he let Scott ride sometimes) and started the engine. She hid again as he rode out of the garage, not even wearing a helmet. It was very unlike Scott. Logan came around the corner and saw her. He greeted her with a cheerful grin. "Logan, quick, go follow Scott. He left on a your old motorcycle."
"Why should I follow 'im? 'e's allowed to take a joy ride once in awhile."
"He isn't wearing a helmet, he snapped at me… I'm really worried, please just follow him."
"Alright, alright, I think I know where 'e went anyways." Logan reassured her, getting on his new bike.

Logan slowed down as he got closer to the clearing. He stopped entirely when he got there and looked around. Scott usually came here when he was upset. It was a Cliffside, surrounded by a forest, that over looked Bayville. He spotted Scott immediately sitting right at the edge of the cliff with his legs hanging over it. Logan didn't want to startle him so he kept his voice low as he said, "Scott. Are you okay?" He waited until Scott shook his head in acknowledgement before he strode over to him and sat next to him. It was only about 5pm now, but the sun had been setting rather early in November and the day was slowly starting to fade into the night. They sat in silence for a few moments before Logan asked, "What 'appened with Charles?"
Scott hesitated before answering, "He showed me my dreams."
"What were they about?"
Turning to the sky as if seeking answers, Scott responded with, "My father."
That definitely got Logan's attention, as the subject of Scott's parents weren't discussed very often. "What of your father?"
Scott whispered once more, as if ignoring Logan's question, "I can't believe I forgot."
"Forgot what, Scott?"
"Forgot him. I forgot everything about him; I still can't remember it all. I haven't remembered him for a long time, Logan. Now I've missed my chance." He got up and went to his bike.
"Scott!" Logan tried to stop him, but he sped away once more. He, in turn, hopped on his bike and rode after him.
Scott turned a sharp corner, catching Logan off guard. He skidded to a stop before he too turned. Now there was a far greater distance between them. Scott turned off the road and into the ditch before blasting through the trees. Logan tried to follow him but lost sight, and smell, of him fairly quickly. Defeated, and out of options, Logan headed back to the mansion.

"Where the fuck could 'e 'ave gone!" Logan bellowed to the small group of people gathered in the den. They consisted of: Xavier, Ororo, Hank and Jean.
"Calm down Logan, Scott just needs some time to himself," Xavier stated to the burly man.
"Some time to 'imself? Why would 'e need some time to 'imself! What 'appened, Chuck?"
"What did happen professor, you know, what did you see in Scott's head? What's happening?" Jean asked softly.
Sighing Xavier told them the whole story. When he was done they agreed to search for Scott if he hadn't returned in one hour. He didn't, of course, but it wasn't as easy to find him as they expected. He was blocking them out, his mind shields were even strong enough to stop Xavier from entering. They split up to search for him on foot, or in a vehicle really. Logan went on his bike, Hank and Ororo went with one car and Jean, now accompanied by Rogue and Kitty, went in another. If they needed back up, which it ended that they did, Bobby and Kurt would come in yet another car (Kurt had finally gotten his licence). Xavier stayed at the mansion concentrating on Scott to find an opportunity to enter his mind. That didn't happen at all that night, though, and the rest finally had to come back. Xavier searched still all through the morning.
